 Dr. Richard Massey "What I have witnessed over the last 15 years leaves me in awe of the body's healing wisdom. It seems nothing is incurable with the use of a few simple tools, the willingness to take an honest look at one's life, and the courage to change. The path of wholeness is our birthright."

 Give The Gift of Health
I am so grateful for my Bikram practice. In just a few short weeks my shooting lower back pain disappeared. I feel stronger, my body is re-shaping itself, I am more flexible, and I am breathing more freely. My whole practice began with a gift. One of my close friends gifted me a month of Bikram, and I am eternally grateful. Thank you Meg! Your gift has given me so much more than you can imagine: my healthy body, a great group of new friends, new healthy habits for myself, and a renewed passion that translates into many areas of my life. I feel so blessed!
The Holidays are a great time to gift your loved ones with meaningful gifts that say, "You matter; I care about you; I appreciate you; Thank you for being who you are." Now is the time to give gifts that keep giving. PURE gift certificates are a great idea, accompanied by either the 3-Day PURE Cleanse (juice and smoothie cleanse) or the 7-Day Jump Start New Year's Cleanse (includes raw foods). Read last week's Superfood Spotlight for more info and a few short cleansing success shout-outs.
Many cleanse participants have reported increased energy and endurance, improved flexibility, better mental focus and clarity, reduced inflammation, and better joint health. Some have even reported better sleep and improved relationships. We also commonly hear from people whose coffee addictions have become juice habits and whose junk food snack attacks are now superfood snack fixes - what a great GIFT to give!
In the spirit of the Holidays and the slight chill in the air, enjoy our gift to you - an awesome New Earth Elixir recipe from the 3-Day PURE Cleanse Recipe eBook. Delicious!
Healthy Holiday Recipe:
Cosmic Cocoa
1 tsp melted cacao butter (available at Whole Foods in the living foods aisle)
16 oz fresh almond milk (I highly recommend making your own if you know how)
1 1/2 tbsp raw cacao powder (also available at Whole Foods)
1-2 tsp maple syrup (grade B)
1 tsp Maca Force (for beauty, vitality and balancing your hormones)
1 tsp Ultra Tocos (add a creamy texture and nourish your skin and hair with this super source of Vitamin E)
pinch Sunfire Salt (contains 84 trace minerals from power points around the world)
1 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate One World Whey (if you use chocolate whey, use less cacao powder)
Melt cacao butter in a pot over low heat. When cacao butter melts, pour in almond milk and remaining ingredients. Whisk until well blended. Heat just until warm - keep below 115 degrees. Delicious and nutritious!
Click here to see our lineup of awesome events and classes. Purchase your membership and invite your friends. Better yet, purchase gift certificates and give them as Holiday gifts, then join the cleanse with your friends. Happy cleansing!

Research Accepted for Publication!
2012 has been an exciting first year for Pure Action on the research front. Two of Dr. Hunter's yoga study manuscripts entitled, "Hatha Yoga and Vascular Function: Results from Cross-sectional and Interventional Studies" and "Improvements in Glucose Tolerance with Bikram Yoga in Obese Adults", have been accepted for publication by the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies! The latter is still in the final phases of the publication process and is expected to be available online soon. To access the hatha yoga study manuscript online, click on the following link: HATHA YOGA STUDY. Study findings included improvements in cholesterol levels and glucose metabolism with no changes in vascular function after consistent yoga practice.
Research Goals for 2013
Next year, Pure Action is committed to funding studies which further our understanding of the impact of all forms of yoga on indices of physical and mental health with a special focus on cardiovascular disease and its associated risk factors, diabetes, anxiety and depression. Our funding priorities include both preventative and treatment based studies employing yoga as a therapeutic tool. We've already had a few inquiries from eager scientists who would like to contribute to our mission of healing the world with yoga through continued study of the practice and look forward to potential partnerships in the New Year.
We would like to thank those who have supported karma classes here in Austin and in Dallas along with our individual donors for making these studies possible through your financial contributions to Pure Action. Your contributions are a vital part of our pursuit of a deeper understanding of the practice of yoga across a broad spectrum.
